2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Over every virtuous deed is a virtuous deed until one is murdered for the cause of Allah; thereafter there is no other virtuous deed which can stand over and before it.’”
